Re: piston question (dillywong)
The only time you really have to change pistons is if they are physically broken. Ring lands are the most common failure Iv'e seen. Other then that they really have to be struck by another component or otherwise cracked/melted/destroyed before they have to be replaced (typically this happens under high RPMs, boost, or other power added setups).

Well, yeah, everything I said or you can choose to change them for a multitude of other reasons.
